Although the disciples were separated physically from Jesus,
they were never beyond His watchful eye.
We are never beyond the watchful eye of our Lord. He is continually
aware of where we are, what we face and the many needs we have.
Mark 6:49-50 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they
supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out: For they all saw him,
and were troubled. . . .And immediately he talked with them, and
saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.
There’s nothing like a comforting word from the Lord when we are
in the midst of a trial—“Be of good cheer. It is I; be not afraid.”
In times of desperation it’s easy to focus on our trial, unaware
that Jesus has His eye on us.
Comfort often comes through His Word, a sermon or prayer
or sometimes a friend.
Walking on the water frightened the disciples until Jesus stepped
into their boat and the wind ceased. Immediately they experienced
a great calm.
Are you filled with doubt and fear as you face a troublesome storm?
If so, look to Jesus. He is nearer than you realize. He wants to calm
your trial.
